This review article describes the pathways and mechanisms of endocytosis and post-endocytic sorting of the EGF receptor (EGFR/ErbB1) and other members of the ErbB family. Growth factor binding to EGFR accelerates its internalization through clathrin-coated pits which is followed by the efficient lysosomal targeting of internalized receptors and results in receptor down-regulation. The role of EGFR interaction with the Grb2 adaptor protein and Cbl ubiquitin ligase, and receptor ubiquitination in the clathrin-dependent internalization and sorting of EGFR in multivesicular endosomes is discussed. Activation and phosphorylation of ErbB2, ErbB3 and ErbB4 also results in their ubiquitination. However, these ErbBs are internalized and targeted to lysosomes less efficiently than EGFR. When overexpressed endocytosis-impaired ErbBs may inhibit the internalization and degradation of EGFR.

Background: Limited studies have explored the relationship between estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate(eGFR) and in-hospital mortality(IHM) in low-income sub-Saharan African countries. This study aimed to explores this association, offering insights into its impact in resource-limited settings.
Methods And Results: We retrospectively included 226 patients(age 45.

Background: Recent studies revealed an association between small kidney volume and progression of kidney dysfunction in particular settings such as kidney transplantation and transcatheter aortic valve implantation. We hypothesized that kidney volume was associated with the incidence of kidney-related adverse outcomes such as worsening renal function (WRF) in patients with acute heart failure (AHF).
Methods: This study was a single-center retrospective cohort study.

Background: Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is an autosomal recessive disorder with dysregulated glyoxylate metabolism in the liver. Oxalate over-production leads to renal stones, progressive kidney damage and renal failure, with potentially life-threatening systemic oxalosis. Nedosiran is a synthetic RNA interference therapy, designed to reduce hepatic lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) to decrease oxalate burden in PH.

The management of bone metastases (BoM) requires a multidisciplinary approach to prevent complications, necessitating updated knowledge in light of the rapid advancements in systemic treatments and surgical, interventional radiology or radiation techniques. This review aims to discuss efficacy of new systemic treatments on BoM, the benefits of radiotherapy adjunction, and the optimal methods for combining them. Preliminary evidence suggesting reduced efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), and several multi-kinase inhibitors regarding BoM may encourage early use of radiotherapy (RT).
